Why America's Education System Is Failing
Mark Weber - Podcast
http://www.ihr.org/mwreport/2012-06-13American education standards and quality declined sharply during the 1960s and 1970s along with a new, "politically correct" emphasis on social-racial equality. Younger Americans perform much less well than northern Europeans and east Asians on international achievement tests. The 2002 "No Child Left Behind" law, enacted with broad bi-partisan political support, is (predictably) proving to be an ever more obvious failure. Such wasteful and irresponsible programs are based on America's prevailing egalitarian-individualistic ideology. Because this guiding outlook is based on false premises about life, society and history, the programs and policies based on it are doomed to failure.
